The Walgreens here at 70 Main St. was robbed for the first time on Oct. 3 when a robber, dressed in black from head-to-toe, stole a quantity of oxycodone after he handed over a note implying that he had a gun. No weapon was shown.

Police Capt. Scott Savino said that the Main Street Walgreen's was hit a second time about 6:50 p.m. on Friday when a man, wearing a white mask and dark hooded sweatshirt, entered the pharmacy, held a plastic bag out over the counter and demanded a quantity of OxyContin. Oxycodone is the active ingredient in OxyContin.

No weapon was shown or implied, Savino said, adding that one account has the suspect fleeing west on Main Street, another has the suspect fleeing out toward the back.

The Florence Walgreens, quite small, is located within the Valley Medical Center complex at 70 Main St.

In wake of the first Florence robbery, Sgt. John M. Delaney, aide to Springfield Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet, said detectives were exploring the possibility that the Springfield and Florence robberies are related.
